Kubo And The Two Strings Trailer Glows With Absolutely Beautiful Imagery

Honestly, this trailer took our breath away on one or two occasions with it gorgeous imagery. Kubo And The Two Strings is the new animated from from LAIKA, the studio behind Coraline and Paranorman and this time the visuals have a enticingly and evocative eastern flavour. All that plus what sounds like an amazing reworking of George Harrison’s “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” on the soundtrack.

Here’s the official synopsis: “An epic action-adventure set in a fantastical Japan from acclaimed animation studio LAIKA. Clever, kindhearted Kubo (voiced by Art Parkinson – Game Of Thrones) ekes out a humble living, telling stories to the people of his seaside town including Hosato (George Takei), Akihiro (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa) and Kameyo (Brenda Vaccaro). But his relatively quiet existence is shattered when he accidentally summons a spirit from his past which storms down from the heavens to enforce an age-old vendetta. Now on the run, Kubo joins forces with Monkey (Charlize Theron) and Beetle (Matthew McConaughey), and sets out on a thrilling quest to save his family and solve the mystery of his fallen father, the greatest samurai warrior the world has ever known. With the help of his shamisen – a magical musical instrument – Kubo must battle gods and monsters, including the vengeful Moon King (Ralph Fiennes) and the evil twin Sisters (Rooney Mara) to unlock the secret of his legacy, reunite his family, and fulfill his heroic destiny.”
